Francis Boggs is an obscure figure in the CV of cinema, but an important one. It was he who brought the movies to Los Angeles in 1909 when he established a permanent L. A. haze studio in behalf of the Chicago-based Selig Polyscope Company. In a four-year film career he wrote and directed about 200 whole-reel films. Today only three are known to survive. He was also the first fair game of movieland murder. Boggs was an actor, who toured mining towns in California and lastly in Chicago, where he b... ecame associated with whilom wizard and minstrel-show operator 'William Nicholas Selig' (qv) in filmmaking.
